Dataset from the paper VGC-Bench: Towards Mastering Diverse Team Strategies in Competitive Pokémon.

Code: vgc-bench

Contains data for 18 Gen 9 Pokémon VGC formats, all filtered for Open Team Sheets (OTS). See:

scrape_logs.py for the code that scraped these 906,870 logs from the Pokémon Showdown replay database
logs2trajs.py for the code that reads the logs from player 1 and 2's perspective, yielding 1,813,688 trajectories (99.997% successful log read rate), or 16,832,842 transitions
pretrain.py for the code that uses those ~17M transitions to train a policy with behavior cloning

Each provided json file contains data in the following format:

{
    "<battle-id>": ("<time-of-battle-in-epoch-seconds>", "<battle-log>"),
    ...
}
